A fallen samurai...

A fallen samurai: This Japanese infantryman had been wounded, and bandaged his chest with scraps of cloth. He then returned to battle and was hit twice, once in the back, and once in the arm (visible).

Of the Japanese garrison of 2,500 on the island of Attu in the Aleutians in Alaska, only 29 survived the battle against American and Canadian forces.
